This historic opera house was the first in town, and is haunted by at least three ghosts. These include a former doorman, an actor who drank himself to death and a long dead female patron. Staff claim to occasionally smell alcohol and cigar smoke when no one is around, and various instances of poltergeist activity have been reported.

I used to work in Central City as security in several casinos. Many non belivers come to Central City, but few go away that way! The area is ripe with ghosts!
A couple years ago I brought my daughter Jessica to Central City and we went on a tour of the Opera House. It was beautiful. They did not allow anyone on the stage. I took a few pictures and I noticed that there was a man on the left part of the stage. you have to make the picture big to see it, but when you do you can see him!
